He was taken on the train to Kings

The French Way of Conducting These
Useful Institutions.
In every French school, be it convent or
pension, the girls are obliged to wear the
uniform peculiar to their school The GUS
tom is an excellent one, as it not only saves
great deal of trouble, but it prevents any
petty jealousies on the subject of dress The
time after dinner until seven o'clock. with
the exception of fifteen minutes for prayers,
is entirely devoted to exercise. In summer
the scholars walk or play in the garden, and
In winter, with the exception of the very
small girls, who amuse themselves in their
own way in their class room, they dance in
what is called the salon des eleyes, or scholars
parlor. This dancing is compulsory, no
other mode of exercise being allowed in
doors and although great fun to begin with
toward the close of winter the formula be-
comes rather monotonous, and the time for
playing in the garden at night as well as in
the day time is hailed with delight Seven
o'clock rings and this is the signal for tw o
hours study before bedtime, one of these
hours being usually devoted to the piano.
At eight the Protestant girls have their
prayers, and the small children go to bed

change of professor to mark the difference

is very little liberty allowed on the subject
OF letter-writing, but to the English and
Americans the permission is given to cor

put on list by their parents or guardians.
1t is not the custom for French papas or
mammas to put such trust in their daugh-
tiers, and every letter not addressed to them
must be left unsealed to be read by the prin-
cipal, through whose hands passes every
letter sent from the school. Should she find
fault with any of these letters she reads they
are returned to the writer, to be either torn
up or corrected as she may direct When
visitor is announced, the scholar before en-
tering the salon is obliged to put on a pair of
gloves, which she must always have at hand
for the purpose. This is a source of great
amusement especially to the Americans.

Fall Gardening in the South.

Those who want a good supply of
winter vegetables must be making
preparations now; have the land well
manfred and dug up in time. Turnips
should be sown by the middle of Au-
gust so that they may attain their
growth before the cold weather comes
on to check them. If the season is
favorable. so they get good start,
they will become fine, but there is al
ways the risk in the South that they
will be injured by drouth and
the hot sun when very young.
Still, if they are not planted
early they will not do much, and
the farmer has to take the risk. The
same remarks apply to carrots. Both
OF these vegetables are good. not only
for household consumption. but are
very valuable for stock food, and
should be planted largely by all farm
ers. Spinach should be sown in Sep
TENDER, but is then also liable to be
killed by the sun and injured by the
worms If these two difficulties are
escaped it will do finely and remain
through our winters uninjured, except
in some very unusually protracted
spell of intensely cold weather Let
tuce should be sown also in September.
This is half-hardy plant in the South,
and like spinach will stand our
ordinary winters without protec-
ton. The cabbage is the hardi-
est vegetable; if planted under grass
it is greatly improved for the table,
becoming more tender, crisp and
bleached. Parsnips should also be
planted in August, and if they have a
good start will attain their growth by
December, may remain in the ground
uninjured all winter. and be pulled
only as wanted. Spinach and lettuce,

INFERIOR RUBBER.
Fraudulent Tricks PractIced by Dishonest
Shoe Dealers.

Shoe Dealers.
Rubbers supply favorite field for
fraudulent propensities. Consumers
know little or nothing Of quality from
appearance. The cheapest goods made,
if highly finished, may readily be sold
for the best. The best boot made is
known as pure gum. Ranking next to
this, but still graded as first quality, is
the best dull finish. But of the dull
boot there are, of course, as many
grades and qualities as there are COM
panies making them. When wearers
come to buy them it is surprising how
many pure gum shoes some dealers
have, and how cheaply they sell them.
A few years ago a manufacturer, re-
marking upon this rather curious feature
of the business, undertook to remedy
the evil. He ordered the s'dull finish
boots stamped mot pure gum" The
audacious dealers erased the first Of
these words, and the remaining two
aided sales materially. Certain label
manufacturers have done considerable
business printing and preparing paper
labels stamped ''pure gum" for the use
of retail shoe dealers, to be pasted on
their boots. We have heard that the
trick of substitution is practiced by some
dealers. The shoes are selected, fitted,
paid for, it may be, and left to be de.
ivered at the home of the buyer. or
taken to another part of the store to be
put up in parcel. During the latter
progress cheaper and altogether in
feJior pair, same size and width, are
put in their place for those purchased.
We should hope, for the credit OF human
nature, that swindling of this bold
nature was very rare.-Sboe n'sd Leather
